The Proposal: A Love Story Begins at the Jewelers Building
It all started with a romantic surprise. Jimmy knew that Mia had always loved the historic architecture of Chicago, so he proposed at her favorite building, the Jewelers Building. The proposal took place in the breathtaking dome at the top, with panoramic views of the city they both adored. This magical moment was just the beginning of a journey leading to a wedding that perfectly reflected their classic style and love for timeless beauty.

Starting at the Art Institute South Gardens, the couple posed for pictures surrounded by lush greenery and timeless architecture. Their journey continued to The Wrigley Building, where the city’s historic charm became the perfect backdrop for capturing their love.
The Ceremony: A Celebration of Love at JW Marriott
The ceremony itself was nothing short of stunning. The room was filled with the soft glow of candlelight and delicate ivory florals. Juliet Tan Floral Design brought Mia’s vision to life, filling the space with elevated centerpieces that added a sense of grandeur to the day. Gold, ivory, and white were the dominant colors, peppered with touches of crisp black details that provided a sophisticated contrast.
As guests took their seats, custom circular menu cards adorned each gold charger plate. Each card bore the initials of the couple, along with a wax seal that added a personal, elegant touch. Every detail spoke of Mia and Jimmy’s impeccable taste and their desire to create an experience their guests would never forget.

The reception that followed was a feast for the senses. Guests were treated to a decadent four-course dinner, each dish carefully crafted to reflect the couple’s love for fine dining. The room glowed with the warmth of candlelight, creating an atmosphere that was both intimate and grand.
The tablescape was a masterpiece in itself. Gold chargers gleamed under the soft light, while ivory florals and greenery cascaded from elevated centerpieces. The room was filled with joy as family and friends toasted the newlyweds, celebrating the love that had brought them all together.
